$90.00/6 months/120 pounds : I split it out (as per my vet instructs) it's enough to treat 4 small dogs and 3 cats for 2 years.

Revolution also kills fleas and mites, so you only have to purchase one product, and you're only giving her one product.

Maybe do a general bloodwork panel to check her health... some do this yearly (unless recently done) or every other year.
